Abstract/Contents: | "Turfgrass plots were established in Beijing to test management practices designed to provide long term high quality turf in a climate with hot, wet summers and cold winters. Good quality turf was achieved with Poa pratensis monocultures, or Poa mixed with Zoysia japonica, Festuca arundinaceae or Lolium perenne. Tiller density increased with time and nitrogen application rate, and decreased with cutting height. Mixtures of species were dominated ty the most competitive component, particularly at high rates of nitrogen application. Disease was a major problem in summer, increasing in severity with nitrogen application rate. Festuca arundinaceae was the most disease resistant grass." |
